Jog

The Jog tool adds material to a sheet metal part by creating two bends from a sketched line.

Some additional items to note about the Jog tool:

  • The sketch must contain only one line.

  • The line does not need to be horizontal or vertical.

  • The bend line does not have to be the exact length of the faces you are bending.

To create a jog feature on a sheet metal part:

  1. Sketch a line on the face of a sheet metal part where you want to create the jog. Alternatively, you can select the Jog feature before you create a sketch (but after you select a plane). When you select the Jog feature, a sketch opens on the plane.

  2. Click Jog on the Sheet Metal toolbar, or click Insert, Sheet Metal, Jog.

 

  1. In the graphics area, select a face for Fixed Face .

  2. Under Selections, to edit the bend radius, clear Use default radius and Use gauge table (if a sheet metal gauge table has been selected for the part), and type a new value for Bend Radius .

  1. Under Jog Offset:

  • Select an item in End Condition.

  • Set a value for Offset Distance .

  • Select Reverse offset to reverse the offset direction. Reverse offset is available when End Condition is set to Offset From Surface.

  • Select a Dimension position: Outside Offset , Inside Offset , or Overall Dimension .

  • Select Fix projected length if you want the face of the jog to stay the same length.

  1. Under Jog Position, select: Bend Centerline , Material Inside , Material Outside , or Bend Outside .

  2. Set a value for Jog Angle . If a sheet metal gauge table has been selected for the part, you can select Override value to override the Jog Angle presets with a value that you set.

  3. To use something other than the default bend allowance, select Custom Bend Allowance, and set a bend allowance type and value.

  1. Click OK .
